Today, the world mourns the loss of subversive and influential Chinese photographer Ren Hang. It was confirmed by the late artist’s friends and colleagues that the innovative film photographer passed this morning, February 24th, in Berlin.
Ren Hang (@renhangrenhang) is among the most revered contemporary photographers, known worldwide as an innovator for using the human body as a photographic tool in undeniably provocative ways.
Hailing from China, a country where sex and nudity still hold heavy cultural taboos, his photographic vision created a generation’s worth of profound imagery merging sex, hedonism and absurdity.
